fast forward swim


the meet was mostly about the swimsuit controversy, with 43 world records set in the eight day competition, i began to jest in earnest, would wearing arena pro-glide suit would transform me into champion swimmer? as a mightily tiny creature, the answer would be hilarious to the absolute power. phelps settled for silver in the 200 free. paul biedermann came out of nowhere to break records in middle distance free events, erasing ian thorpe's, the foremost proponent of body suits, 400 free standard time. but the sweetest thrill was the fast forward button, i tend to yawn during the long distance events that the remote served as my comfort knob, a paramount essential when rewinding and playing again phleps vs vadic in the 100 fly.
